The delivery was extremely fast and arrived at my door within the next day or two. I was extremely impressed with the small size of the package and it was fantastic that it didn’t occupy the counter space of the table in my kitchen.I was equally awed to find that each drinks were contained in a small container that easily fits into my bag if were to bring the drink to a friend’s home.
Mixing cocktails
Making drinks was an simple process. All you need to do is shake, tear, and put the packet in glasses with ice and drink. It was simpler to make use of a pair of scissors to cut open the packet, but it was still an simple procedure.It definitely has the edge in terms of convenience and I was thrilled that I could mix a drink at my dining table and not having to worry about making mess.I was given a set of nine drinks, which contained the mix of NIO cocktails’ top sellers as well as special summer editions, and the most well-known cocktails.I was instantly impressed by the amazing flavor of the various cocktails and the fact that it was well-balanced. For classic drinks such as that of the Cosmopolitan the drink was sweet but didn’t taste overly of vodka. It it had a wonderful tanginess to it.
My favorite drink is the Negroni as I understand why this is among the top NIO cocktails. I was extremely impressed by how Vermouth, Gin, and Campari were blended and how deliciously bitter it was I sipped it slowly in order to take in the flavor.There are other special summer drinks such as The Tea Sour which is a combination of lemon juice and tea. It was sweet and had an sour flavor to it, and I was happy to be the first to experience an interesting cocktail at home. Though I’m not a fan of having Margaritas more the NIO’s version was a perfect blend of lime, salt and tequila, which did not feel salted in my mouth.
